Generative AI at Mayo

AI in Healthcare at Mayo Clinic.  A good example for an example of data workflow.  

Mayo Clinic Partners With Google Cloud to Bring Generative AI to Healthcare

ERIC HAL SCHWARTZ on June 8, 2023 at 8:00 am

The Mayo Clinic is working on enhancing its work using generative AI as part of a new collaboration with Google. The healthcare center’s first project aims to speed up its research by integrating Google Cloud’s Enterprise Search in Generative AI App Builder within its clinical workflows. In tandem with the Mayo Clinic deal, Google Cloud announced that the Gen App Builder can now create systems capable of complying with HIPAA.

GENERATIVE MAYO

Google’s Gen App Builder offers an enterprise search feature useful for collating and finding data from a wide range of sources. Since doctors and medical professionals must look through patient records, research papers, hospital protocols, and other databases to plan any treatment or diagnosis plan, an AI assistant that can streamline the process has an obvious appeal. The HIPAA compliance Google Cloud’s platform now supports is crucial for the Mayo Clinic or any other healthcare provider, however, as they would want to ensure data security and privacy before they start linking generative AI products to patient records.

“Our prioritization of patient safety, privacy, and ethical considerations, means that generative AI can have a significant and positive impact on how we work and deliver healthcare,” Mayo Clinic chief information officer Cris Ross explained. “Google Cloud’s tools have the potential to unlock sources of information that typically aren’t searchable in a conventional manner, or are difficult to access or interpret, from a patient’s complex medical history to their imaging, genomics, and labs. Accessing insights more quickly and easily could drive more cures, create more connections with patients, and transform healthcare.”  .. '

Google Cloud Introduces Shelf Inventory Predictive Tool for Retailers

The Wall Street Journal

Isabelle Bousquette, January 13, 2023

An artificial intelligence tool developed by researchers at Google Cloud aims to help big-box retailers improve shelf inventory tracking. The algorithm uses videos and images from the retailer's ceiling-mounted cameras, camera-equipped self-driving robots, or store associates to assess the availability of goods on shelves. The tool was trained on a database of more than a billion products and can recognize products regardless of the source or angle of the images. In tests at the innovation lab of supermarket chain Giant Eagle Inc., the tool achieved more than 90% accuracy, which Giant Eagle's Graham Watkins said is not sufficient to deploy it at scale. Giant Eagle will roll out a pilot program in an actual store, but a chain-wide deployment is not likely for several years (if at all).
